Postby skydancer » Sun Aug 24, 2008 11:05 am

A while ago a friend of mine invited me along a Microlight flip which she won from African Pilot,which we flew yesterday,and I got to tell you all,awesome,there's nothing else better then trike flying,things you can do with trikes that cannot be done with Jabiru's ;) lol But we flew with an excellent team yesterday from Rietfontein to Brits area,and what excitement,like Hardy,the pilot I flew with,called the Rude awekening ;) low flying,spiral decends,wing overs!enough adrenaline went through my body on this awesome flight,I would go up with them anytime hahaha Thanks again guys,keep up the good flying.

Glad you enjoyed. Her name is Jackie if I remembered correct. Ask her to send me a mail telling about this experience to marius(at)africanpilot.co.za
Thank you Big G (Grant) for sponsoring this great prize. =D* and Martin for his special pilot skills.
